Urgent security flaw, personal info leak, please patch
Swatting is a huge problem for live streamers on twitch and youtube. In case you are unfamiliar with the term it refers to when someone figures out where someone doing a livestream lives then falsely reporting to the police something bad is happening at their address like an active hostage situation. The police/swat respond accordingly and show up ready to protect and serve and the streamer usually gets a gun pointed at them. Recently someone was killed during a swatting "prank".
I have spent many hours setting up my launchbox database with the emulators I want, cool themes, box art, and ect. I would love to use it to livestream but I can not because it has my real name on display for everyone to see. I could put something over it but if for any reason it moved or whatever frame I put over it blinked then my personal info would be leaked and that is too big a risk to take. Could you please make it so my personal info is just tied to my license and not publicly displayed?
